3 and a half months out and i still cant handle lettuce. I crave salads and when i eat it a chew it to death its like a rock in my tummy

About how much vanilla do you add??? Im tired of yogurts but this i want to try

So I had my 3 month post op appointment and i had my bloodwork done the week before. For some reason they didnt get my labs back in time. Yesterday i got a letter in the mail abt my bloodwork saying everything was fine but my Zinc was dangerously low. I take 2 chewable flinstones vits a day which should be 160% of my daily percent. Its like 12 mgs or so. Now my perscription is for 220 mgs!!!! A bit freaked out about this but of course Dr is off til Monday. Anyone know anything about this???

Im in Cali if you are ever out this way

I am craving fruit and veggies!!! I am only allowed steamed veggies and i cannot stand those!!! Had a few slices of an orange and boy i wont do that again!

Its been a week now and i do rest and try to nap too but im worn out! I am resting as much as i can because i am too lazy to do anything lol. Thank you for the support

I need to get my energy back. I was doing so good and i got to my first personal goal of under 300 lbs. Then i got sick. Sinus infection and broncitis all in 1 causing a migraine flare up. Doctor gave me 3 injections and sent me home. Doing much better but still lack energy. I am taking all my vitamins and medicine and b12 but cannot get out of this tired all the time junk. I know im still getting better but i hate being lazy. What can i do???

TOM time of month???

I sure hope that my energy levels will come back soon! Half wau through work and im dead tired! Its rough but i added b12 now and idk what else to do. I had such horrible bm problem on sunday now i use a fiber supplement too. Need more fluids but sometimes lack the want/need of food or fluids

Okay so i haven't been having any trouble with BMs until today! After about 30 mins sitting on the porcelain god it was stuck and WAY too big. Had to leave work and urgent care wasn't open. Got some stool softeners and took one. It finally passed thank you Jesus but it hurt like all get out! Do i take the stool softeners everyday or just when needed?

My stomach cannot handle the tomatoes of any kind due to the acid i guess. Refried beans and just a small bit of salsa mild and its a no go for me. The taco soup is great but not the tomatoes in rotel. I am stuck on cottage cheese and yogurt refried beans plain. Was doing string cheese but with my bad BM thing i am giving that a rest

I am just waiting for my doctor to respond back to me. Guess i need more fiber. My fluids are fine and not on any pain meds but the vitamins, calcium, b12, omprazole and actigall. Thanks for the support

I am going back to work on Monday and i am excited because i will get out of the house and NOT think about food all day i hope! Im just wondering how my eating will be there. I will take my lunch but after i get less to no time for moving around. Im scared

I am right there with you! I get so down on myself and i know it is fine but still

I totally am in the same boat. When i feel like that i can't throw up it is irritating. Sometimes happens when i forget and take too big of a sip too

Sleeved 12/17 and on Jan 3rd I was down 15

I was told 30 mins before and 30 mins after. I think my dizziness yesterday was due to lack of my water. I did get my protein shakes in over the course of the day and had SOME water but not as much as normal. I dont eat anything other than soup, cottage cheese, string cheese and greek yogurt. Of course not all at once and not a lot at a time either. I am just like any other person trying to figure out what works for me. That medicine that coats my stomach is supposed to help but I am STILL coughing up the junk and so tomorrow I am starting my gall stone medicine as I do not want to have that become a problem for me now too! Thanks for all the wonderful supportive advice! It is great to have such great people for support!

Thank you Nancy! I do appreciate the support

True

No I am not gaining at all I barely eat anything other than my protein shakes and water.

Ok this is what I am going through today: I woke up and did my usual coughing. Dr. told me to try this medicine he gave me that coats my stomach and see how it works, if it doesnt work by Monday I can start the gall stone medicine! (Thanks for all the advice.) Now today I did my usual walk of a mile and a half after my protein shake, about an hour after. Anyways now all day when I go to stand up I am becoming dizzy!!! I do not have any pain and no fever but I am getting dizzy Has anyone experienced this? It feels weird!

I can only imagine how hard it must be for you for your support to be so far away. Is there possibly someone else you feel close enough that could come and maybe help you through this slump? I take an anxiety pill and I find myself getting depressed a little too but then I know I have to do something to shake that feeling. I went for 2 walks yesterday to shake my bad feelings and I put on my music and just go. I also have a son and it take so much energy but it IS worth it! You can do this! You have to eat or at least drink your protein or you may become very sick and have to go in the hospital. I am always just a message away and I will help you as much as I can. Even if just to talk you through it! Good luck friend!

I am 17lbs away from being under 300 and I so cannot wait for that! It seems like no matter what I did before I could NEVER get below that 300 mark. That is a goal I cannot wait to get to right now

I dont think there is much difference in the 2.
